With a pair of wins over Shoreline Community College, the BCC Softball team put the wraps on one of the finest seasons in their history.

Bellevue and Shoreline met for final time this season at UW Husky Softball Field on the University of Washington Campus for a doubleheader on May 10. Dawn Norcross belted her team leading ninth home run of the season in game one, and Michelle Wilson went four for four at the plate as the Bulldog offense racked up 16 hits en route to a 6-4 win. Christine Miller-Long picked up the win.

Game two saw the BCC bats attack Shoreline pitching for 10 runs on 19 hits, and Michelle Ruby held the Dolphins in check to pickup a 10-3 victory. Allison Stanford also hit her second home run of the season for Bellevue.

With the wins, Bellevue finished the regular season with 41 wins on the year, the most in the NWAACC. BCC's 41-4 overall record, and 34-2 league mark are among the best in school history. The Bulldogs also finished the regular season on a 14 game winning streak.

By virtue of their third league championship in four years, BCC has claimed the Northern Region's number one seed to the NWAACC Championships May 16-18 at Delta Park in Portland, OR. The Bulldogs' first round game will be against Centralia Community College, the number four seed from the West Region, slated for 11:30am on May 16.
